The secret life of ground squirrels: accelerometry reveals sex-dependent plasticity in above-ground activity
The sexes differ in how and when they allocate energy towards reproduction, but how this influences phenotypic plasticity in daily activity patterns is unclear. Here, we use collar-mounted light loggers and triaxial accelerometers to examine factors that affect time spent above ground and overall dy...
